*NEXT DAY/Tami's POV*
I woke up to see that I was in Simon's room and to find Simon next to me
"Morning" Simon said, I looked at him before grabbing my glasses and getting up. I grabbed a Sidemen hoodie, some money, my phone and some shoes before leaving the room
"Tami, where you going?" I heard Simon say behind me, I put the hoodie on along with my shoes (MEDIA) as I walked down the stairs
"Tami, look I'm sorry" Simon said, I ignored him and walked into the kitchen where everyone including the girls were sat
"Hi Tami" Leander said, I ignored all of them
"Tami, we are really sorry. Just listen to me" Simon said, I didn't say anything. I grabbed an apple before barging past Simon
"Where you going?" Laurel asked, I walked to the front door and opened it before walking out and slamming it shut behind me. I held the apple in my mouth and started to walk while putting my hair in a ponytail then pulled up the hood, I grabbed the apple after taking a bite and continued to walk. I didn't care that I was wearing pjs underneath, there was no way I was staying near them after they burned my mum's dress. I finished the apple and throw away the remains then continued to walk, I don't know where I was going but it was getting me away from the Sidemen. I put my phone on silent and ignored the calls from the Sidemen, I kept walking when I came across Starbucks. I need some food right now so I might as well, I walked in and ordered a ice frappe and brought a sandwich. I then sat down and ate bits of my sandwich, I didn't really eat that much just broke it into pieces. I just can't believe Simon and them would actually be heartless and burn my mum's dress. I lost interest in eating and throw everything away before going to the park that was a few blocks down, I walked towards the swings and sat down. I wasn't really paying attention to anything so I didn't realise someone was sat next to me
"You ok?" I looked at the person and gave a fake smile before nodding my head
"You're not, you're lying. Want to talk about it?" The person asked
"I don't mind but you are?" I asked
"Lucy" The person said and held out their hand
"Tami" I said and shook her hand
"What happened?" Lucy asked, I looked at her before deciding to tell her
*SKIPPING TAMI TELLING LUCY*
"Wow that is just deep" Lucy said
"Yea" I said
"They actually burned your mum's dress?" Lucy asked
"Yea and they made me watch them burn it" I said, I then hear someone walking towards us
"Lucy?" I looked up to see Leander, Natalie and Aria
"Leander? Natalie? Aria? What you guys doing here?" Lucy said and stood up before hugging them
"We came looking for Tami" Leander said
"Why?" Lucy asked confused
"How do you know them?" I asked Lucy
"They are my friends but their boyfriends are in the same group as my boyfriend and brother" Lucy said
"Boyfriend and brother?" I asked, just then Simon and the others appeared
"Tami I'm really sorry" Simon said and looked guilty
"Lucy is dating Tobi" Natalie said and pointed at Tobi
"Her brother is Josh" Aria said and pointed at Josh
"Lucy, Tami is Simon's future wife" Leander said
"Wait, you was talking about the Sidemen?" Lucy said and pointed at the group I nodded my head, I watched as Lucy's face grew with anger
"You mean to tell me MY brother, MY boyfriend and their friends bullied you for years without an explanation?" Lucy said with disbelief
"Yea" I said, Lucy looked at the group
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PEOPLE I KNEW? I GO AWAY FOR SCHOOL AND COME BACK TO FIND OUT THAT YOU BULLIED SOMEONE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WONDERFUL AND SWEET PEOPLE I KNEW? AM I GOING TO GET BULLIED FOR BEING NICE TO HER? JOSH ARE YOU GOING TO HURT YOUR SISTER? HOW ABOUT YOU TOBI? YOU GOING TO HURT ME FOR BEING FRIENDS WITH HER? SHE HAS NO ONE THANKS TO YOU, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY" Lucy shouted at them, they all looked guilty but shocked by Lucy's outburst
"I'm going to let you guys figure this out" I said and stood up
"Where you going?" Lucy asked, I looked at Simon
"Just somewhere away from them, I'll come back to the Sidemen house later since I've got no where else to go. I just need to be alone" I said before breaking eye contact with Simon
"Tami, you sure?" Lucy asked
"I'll be fine" I said before walking off, I went to the one place I was familiar with and that was Mrs Colin's music shop. I knew she would have the shop open today and I need her right now
*SKIPPING THE JOURNEY THERE*
I walked into the shop and closed the door behind me, Mrs Colin walked out from the back and looked at me
"Tami? What a lovely surprise" Mrs Colin said and gave me a hug
"It's nice seeing you too Mrs Colin" I said with a smile
"I am so sorry about Bradley, I didn't think he would act like this" Mrs Colin said and pulled away from the hug
"He told you?" I asked
"Yes dear he did" Mrs Colin said
"Then I guess there is no point in hiding it anymore" I said and let a tear drop
"What is it Tami?" Mrs Colin asked
"My bullies from school" I said
"What about them?" Mrs Colin asked
"It's Simon and his friends, they are my bullies" I said, I watched as Mrs Colin's face drop
"You mean the guy your parents gave you away to? The family I met the other day at your parents house" Mrs Colin said, I nodded my head
"Why didn't you tell me Tami? I could have said no to it" Mrs Colin said
"You was so happy to be finally getting me out of the hell hole" I said
"Tami, your happiness matters the most to me" Mrs Colin
"It doesn't matter anyways, there is no way out" I said
"Tami, I'm so sorry" Mrs Colin said
"It's ok, erm....they might had ruined mum's dress again" I said and awkwardly scratched my neck
"No problem, I'll just fix it again for you" Mrs Colin said
"That's the problem, it's not fixable. They burned it" I said
"What? They burned the dress" Mrs Colin said, I nodded my head
"But that was the last thing your mum gave to you" Mrs Colin said
"I know, can we not talk about it now?" I asked
"Sure dear, do you want your guitar?" Mrs Colin asked
"Do you mind me staying here and playing it for a while?" I asked
"Not at all" Mrs Colin said before getting my guitar
"You can take it with you to the Sidemen house, you don't have to worry about your dad trying to sell it for alcohol money anymore" Mrs Colin said and handed me my guitar
"I might take it with me" I said before going to my usual spot which is a corner and sat down, I heard the usual bell that Mrs Colin has on the door. Someone walked in but I ignored them and started to play the guitar and sing (Miley Cyrus - Butterfly Fly Away! I changed the word 'Daddy's' to 'Mummy's' because the song is meant to be for her mum)
You tuck me in,
Turn out the light
kept me safe and sound at night
little girls depend on things like that
I sang, I felt someone watching me but I ignored them
Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
had to drive me everywhere
you were always there when I looked back
You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be
And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
you would hold my hand and sing to me
I looked up to see Mrs Colin watching me and she smiled at me before I looked back down at the guitar
Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be
can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight.
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
Turned around and you were there
The two of us made quite a pair
Mummy's little girl was here at last
Looked away and back again
Suddenly a year was ten
Don't know how it got so far so fast
My voice then cracked a bit and tears welled up
And yes dear, you don't understand
It's not anything we planned
Kind of makes you think it's meant to be (it's a destiny)
I always knew the day would come
You'd stop crawling, start to run
Beautiful as beautiful can be
Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away
I pushed the tears back and concentrated on the guitar
Butterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly fly away (butterfly fly away)
You've been waiting for this day
All along you've known just what to do
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away (I hope you find your way and all the things you wish for, love and care about)
Butterfly fly away (oh, won't you fly away)
Butterfly fly away (oh, won't you fly away)
Butterfly fly away
I stopped playing and let tears fall, I heard someone sit down next to me and I recognised the smell of the body spray on them. I didn't have any energy in me to tell them to leave me alone, he sat down and put his arm around my shoulder before pulling me into his side. I rested my head on his shoulder and let more tears fall
"I miss her so much" I said
"I know and I'm so sorry I burned your mum's dress, I really am" Simon said, I didn't say anything and just cried until I fell asleep against Simon...
